Observations at Amritsar railway station revealed that no security personnel were present at either of its main entry gates, raising concerns about passenger safety.
Recent on‑site checks at Amritsar railway station showed that both the north and south entry gates were unattended by security staff. The absence of visible guards was noted by commuters and local observers during peak travel hours.
The lack of personnel at the gates has prompted questions about the adequacy of safety measures at one of Punjab's busiest rail hubs. While the station is normally under the jurisdiction of the Railway Protection Force, no officers were seen conducting routine checks or managing crowd flow.
Railway officials have not yet issued a formal statement, but the incident underscores the need for immediate reinforcement of security protocols to protect passengers and prevent potential incidents.
